Dear all,

My name is Ela Veresiu. I am PhD student at Witten/Herdecke University in Witten Germany. I am studying city-life in large/global cities and how different people from different ethnicities live together. This study was my idea and is independent from the university. The starting point for my work is the Roma community in Italy and in Europe. I am very interested in hearing stories about every day life of members of the Roma community. If it is not too much trouble, I was wondering if you would be interested in talking with me or if you could put me in contact with anyone associated with the http://www.sivola.net/dblog/ who would be interested in sharing their stories with me. I am really interested in talking about everyday activities, such as cooking, working, shopping. If you have time and are interested, a conversation over skype or the telephone would be very much appreciated.

This is a link to my website for more information on my work: http://www.roma-consumers.com/ .

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Ela Veresiu
